After living the regionals in BandRlín and in Madrid and enjoy the performances of the best European athletes, we already look at the Crossfit Games. While we are preparing games, contests and many surprises to take Madison this summer, we will review THE PALMARÉS OF THE GAMES SEMIFINALS To know the 40 men, 40 women and 40 teams selected for the final. As you know, this year, the regions division has changed to admit the new European athletes in the regionals, dividing the continent into two parts: Europe and Meridian. On the other hand, the same fervor for this Fitness sport has caused Central and South America to separate regional South to become the Latin America region. In addition, these changes have forced to modify the number of finalists of both regions. If until now the 5 best athletes/teams of each category opted for the final, this year, the best 4 men, 4 women and 4 teams of the Meridian will participate in the Games; While only a woman, a American man and a American team will travel to Wisconsin. Taking these changes into account, the athletes have remained in the official leaderboard of the CrossFit Games 2018.

Who will be the most form in the world?
When reviewing the list of the finals of the CrossFit Games 2018 Surely more than one name will sound to you. We will see in Madison, in early August, the winners of the Games 2017, Mat Fraser and Tia-Clair Toomey that they will have to defend their title for the third and second time, respectively. We will also see our favorite dots: Katrin DavidTtir (winner in 2015 and 2016), Annie Thorisdottir (winner in 2011 and 2012) and Sara Sigmundottir. Among other known names of the Games, we will see Patrick Vellner, Kari Pearce, BK Gundmundsson, Margaux Alvarez, Camille Leblanc-Bazinet (Winner in 2014), Brooke Wells, the brothers Scott and Saxon Panchik, Brent Fikowski, Josh Bridgers, Emily Abbott, Chyna Cho, the Mexican Brenda Castro, Noah Ohlsen, Ben Smith (Winner in 2015) Emily Bridgers, Lauren Fisher and the Australians Khan Porter and Kara Webb (now Saunders after marrying). A name is missing, right? Even as a team, they will also be the more man in the planet, the four times champion of the CrossFit Games: Rich Froning. After winning the Games from 2011 to 2014 he retired from the individual competition to participate with his team CrossFit Mayhem Freedom Since then and winning by teams in 2015 and 2016. This year, he will also be with his team fighting for a position in the Podium of Madison.
